Network Implementation Network Implementation UNIX / Linux   The UNIX operating systems are built around the TCP/IP protocols, and while all have certain similarities, they vary greatly in their capabilities. This is due to the variations in the additional software included with the operating system and the commercial (or non-commercial) nature of the various products. Some UNIX variants are commercial products marketed by large software companies, such as Hewlett Packard, Sun Microsystems, and IBM. Others are developed and maintained as part of the open source movement, in which volunteer programmers work on the software in their spare time, usually communicating with their colleagues over the Internet, and freely releasing their work to the public domain. There are many different UNIX operating systems that you can download from the Internet free of charge, such as FreeBSD, NetBSD, and various forms of Linux. UNIX is primarily an application
